The Silent
Eren had a crown on his head, sitting down in a throne. He didn't know where, it was just a throne. His hair was braided to the back into a bun, as if someone had done it for him.
A throne in a fancy place.
It was quiet.
Oh god, it's so so quiet here,
He didn't know where he was. Why it was quiet. Usually, he would like the quiet. But he didn't now.
It made him feel uncomfortable as if there was something coming for him.
The silence is slipping into my head
When monsters are loud
They're really quite delightful
It's the silent things that get you, so please do watch out
He touched the crown on his head, and he attempted to take it off. It didn't budge at all. He once again tugged, nothing again. Sighing, he got up.
We had a monster ball, and they all came out to play
He began to walk around the place, before going forward and opening the door to the front. He heard the clank of so,etching, but when he looked to the side. Nothing was there.
But he swore there was. Like swords. Guards. Guards for a monarch.
He began to uneasily walk around.
He turned around to see different people in clothes like his. Speaking of which, he had a robe around him now. Where the hell did that come from?
They were dressed to the nines in their scary monster ways
He suddenly found himself sitting at a large table. A banquet was laid in front of him. His shirt had different patterns on it now, and was now white. His black pants, however, stayed the same. He looked to his hand to see a red liquid in a wine glass.
It was, of course, wine. But why?
He looked up to see people surrounding the table, feasting at the food. He felt uneasy. What was going on? Who are these people?
We had guzzard tea and lizard skin! And baby legs and rolled around merrily and spilled our fluids!
He got up and placed his wine glass in the table. He ran out of the room, suddenly feeling a weight at his side. He looked to his left hip and saw a cane fastened tightly around his waist.
The fuck.
That was so fun. . .
At the end of the night, we bowed and said 'good eating'
He could hear the concerns behind him, but he ignored them. He didn't know these people. He never knew these people.
Why are they acting like they know him?
He didn't know them! They didn't know him!!
And they spilled into the night, slithering and creeping
He ran down the hallway, wondering where the hell he was going. He just ran, turning left, turning right. He came across statues, portraits, extravagant things that he did not give a shit about.
Finally, he came across a room. He opened the room and flicked the lights on, not minding the cracks on the wall appearing from his fist.
I closed my door and hit the lights,
And sighed into the frightful night
He looked at the room. It was very large, about the size of the two training grounds. There was so many things around at once, a wardrobe, trophies, robes. Speaking of which, his pants felt heavier.
He looked down and saw the cloth was embroidered with gold. Who the hell has time for this!? GOD!!
The chandeliers were creaking. . .
He looked up and saw a chandelier was swaying back and forth. Quickly realizing what was going to happen, he jumped back and saw it crash down.
The chandelier split into several pieces, the decorations becoming tiny duplicates of themselves. The diamonds shattered easily, with the gold shining in the sunlight.
Peekaboo! Oh! My little toms were peeking!
He looked around when he heard a noise and a flutter of something. He backed away, ignoring the fallen chandelier as he did. What the fuck was going on.
Oh god, what's that?
Something white came through the window, alongside a few feathers. The thing landed on a bed post and hooted.
Could it be my little black cat?
It was a white owl. With large blue eyes. They flew towards Eren, and he raised a arm for it to land on.
They nuzzled his forehead with their own before flying off. Hearing another thing, Eren turned around and saw a larger shadow version of the owl.
Could it be my shadow playing tricks?
He jumped back in surprise, the shadow following his movements.
He is so done with this shit.
Eren sighed and turned around, the candlesticks flickering.k
Could it be my flighty candlesticks?
He went to the wardrobe and opened it. He rolled his eyes at the over-the-top outfits occupying every inch of the large closet.
It's time my body goes to bed, but who to tend to my dear head?
He looked into the mirror stationed at the end and didn't see himself. Rather, he saw two kings standing side by side. One with a crown of gold shaped like flowers, the other thin and almost looking like he was on his death bed.
But Eren didn't feel remorse or confusion. Instead, he felt anger.
The night with soothe it's deadly ways. . .
He walked up to the mirror, watching as the two people backed off.
Into the realm of the insane!
He raised a fist and hurled it at the mirror, watching as it broke apart. The pieces fell to the ground with a clang, sometimes cutting the floor. He clenched his bleeding fist tightly.
He looked to outside and saw that it was night.
He huffed as he threw on a night robe. This shit is weird. And he is very uncomfortable with it.
I lift my covers up, and I close my little eyes
He closed the door to the closet before walking to the large bed. What the fuck is this shit.
He lifted the blankets up and shoved himself under.
And I listen to the night,
With its silent screams and cries
He thought he could here things like 'Peace' and preaches of it. He rolled his eyes before closing them.
I went to sleep and woke up to find I was being eaten!
He suddenly felt a pain up his spine, he quickly got up and saw little bugs crawling a over him and nipping at his skin.
Which wouldn't be so bad. . .
Except!
He somehow managed to shove all of the bugs of with one hand, watching as they became a cluster in the corner. They looked pathetic. Really pathetic. He didn't notice it, but he was back in those strange close from before.
I never gave permission
He raised a foot and shoved it down, watching as the bugs exploded to pieces.
Those silent little demons, and their silent little ways.
He walked into the hallways again, raising his hands when he realized it was quiet again. He began to shake them.
Then he began to laugh.
It's the silent ones that kill you, it's the little ones that rage!
He began to imagine little people, preachers, pastors, priests coming to him. They looked so small in his imagination that he stopped and waved his fingers around as if to imitate them.
The big ones will hound you,
The loud ones will pound you!
He didn't know what was happening. Eren bounced off of one foot and began to swirl and jump around the hallways uncontrollably.
He froze suddenly and began to laugh manically as he held himself.
But the germs get in you and eat you inside out
The preaches began to grow louder and louder in his head, and he began to laugh louder in a attempt to block them out.
Inside, inside out
The bugs came back, and there was more of them now.
They'll eat you inside out
Which wouldn't be so bad
Except they eat you inside out
Eren's laughter began to grow louder and louder each second as he backed away from the bugs.
Inside out, inside out
They'll eat you inside out
Which wouldn't be so bad
Except they eat you inside out
He felt like crying.
His laughter slowly began to turn into panic laughter as he frantically attempted to run from the bugs.
Which wouldn't be so bad
But I never gave permission
They just get inside you and set upon their mission
They grabbed him and he shouted and cried. 'Get out, get out!'
Then, they began to drown and swarm him.
OR BETTER THEN THAT,
THEY'LL GET INTO YOUR VEINS!
Eren scratched his face as he felt the preaches and urges growing louder as the bugs swarmed him.
AND SEEP INTO YOUR BLOODSTREAM,
WHICH CAUSES LOTS OF PAIN!
Absentmindedly, he ripped his wrists and the blood started to fall into steady drips onto the ground.
OR BETTER THEN THAT,
THEY'LL MAKE YOU GO INSANE!
The laughter came back, but it wasn't his. It was a mix of a female and a male, they were urging him to concede, to give in.
IF THE LITTLE BUGGER SLIMES,
REACH INTO YOUR BRAIN!
Eren began to scream as the urges, laughter, and bugs seeming the drown him. They were crawling on him, begging him, drowning him, holding him down.
OR BETTER THEN THAT,
IN YOUR SOUL THEY'LL LURK!
Eren's hand reach out and began to shove them off, but more just seemed to keep on coming. His head began to shake as he felt the tears begin to brim his eyes. His hands were moving wildly now, and he didn't know what was happening.
All he knew that he needed to live and be free of this madness.
A PLACE TO WORSHIP, YOU'VE BECOME THEIR CHURCH!
Eren's hands found the crown and he threw it in the ground. As it hit the ground, the laughter and the speeches went silent. The bugs stopped holding him down and swarming him.
Eren went silent as he looked at the hand that threw the crown. He began to shiver as he looked at both of his hands. The rips on his wrists were also gone, as if they were never there in the first place. His clothes were also back to normal, to the ones he was comfortable with. His hair was also down now, flowing down smoothly.
He liked it that way.
He began to slowly walk down the hallways. As he did, he couldn't hear the preachers and priests now. Everything felt normal. He walked down the stairs, his legs tired one he was on the ground floor.
He began to walk towards the exit, his hand outstretched as he readied himself to leave.
He looked to his side and saw a mirror, seeing the two people again. But he also heard slurs yelled, his hand clenched the knob tightly as each passing second made his temper break. He needed the crown he had thrown before. He didn't now why, but he needed it.
He broke the knob.
Inside out, inside out,
They'll eat you inside out
He turned back and began to run up the stairs, never tripping once.
Which wouldn't be so bad
Except they eat you inside out
He ran down the hallways, a maniac smile growing on his face. With each step, he grew closer and closer to the fallen crown.
No, it wouldn't be so bad
Except they eat you inside out,
He grabbed the crown and laughed as he put it on his head again, fastening it tightly. The laughters, the preachers, everything from before returned. Only it was his own now. His clothes didn't change at all this time.
Inside out, inside out
They'll eat you inside out,
He twisted foot and began to spin around, feeling like he could do anything. He felt something overcome him as he jumped up and down the pillars, feeling alive.
Then he broke the window. He landed on his feet onto the pavement, somehow not breaking his legs
Outside were several people, and once they saw him, they bowed.
But then they leave you inside out, inside out
